    My friend got the espresso martini and they did a great job. I didn't like anything off of the menu but the bartender was very friendly and will to make a fun potion for me so I asked for something with vodka, refreshing and not sweet with passion fruit and he made an amazing passion fruit mojito that was very refreshing and not sweet! Couldn't taste the alcohol which is a very well done to the bartender but dangerous haha I highly recommend this drink to anyone who likes clear liquor and low sugar. And we had a lot of fun dancing that night!!

    The atmosphere of this bar is cozy yet modern and it's a great space albeit a little small. Cute decor and seating and a splendidly elegant bar, the wait staff were easy to order from and helpful enough. My wings were pretty meh unfortunately, the soy for the meat is a bit stringy and the texture threw me off a bit and the "hot honey" didn't really remind me of any hot honey I've tried. It's a fun space with friendly staff but as someone who is N/A it's not somewhere I'd be hanging out at regularly

    Went there last week and my first impression was I love the lighting and atmosphere. The place was clean but most importantly really great service. They tall white guy who bartends there was awesome and made good drinks. Really great service. I would go back here for sure.

    Shinobi's Honor, a craft whiskey cocktail.
    Kim G.

    Lived in Portland 25 years now, and this was my first time here. Located in the historic Sentinel Hotel on SW 11th just past Morrison, Fortune, is a bar, restaurant (vegan) and nightclub. We were here for the bar. We stopped in to enjoy a beverage while waiting for a table to open at Mucca Pizzeria around the corner. This must be a common pre-dinner drink spot as the bartender greeted us with a hello, and are you having dinner here or just a drink before your table opens? Well, done, on the read! I'm not much of a cocktail drinker these days, even though that is what Fortune is known for, so I ordered a glass of red. The red was a cab sav, perfect. My friend ordered Shinobi's Honor, a craft whiskey cocktail invented by our bartender when he awoke in the middle of the night with an idea. And named after his dog. Love the backstory! The cocktail had an incredible presentation, with dry smoke releasing once he removed the cover. A blend of Sentry Toki, Fernet Branca, Meletti, Vanilla, and Oak smoke served over a block of clear ice. Other than the last two ingredients, I'd never heard of any of these liquors. My friend totally enjoyed it. Dark and moody inside, plenty of bar seats and a few conversational couches and seats by the window, it was the perfect place to start our night.

    Late night cocktails, delicious food, sometimes dancing, what's not to love? Whenever I'm in Portland I always end up at Fortune for at least a drink and an appetizer, if not more. They make some delicious craft cocktails and the food menu is vegan but don't let that stop you from trying their burger, wings, mac n cheese and many other delightful options. On weekends it gets pretty lively but on a weekday evening come for a dimly lit cozy vibe that feels comfortable yet refined. The bartending staff has always been friendly and attentive, even on busy nights.

    Great staff, phenomenal, cocktails, especially that Wyoming whiskey, old-fashioned. Love the ambience and the feel of this place and look forward to coming back.

    Exceptional service by Nick! The bar was poppin but he somehow made us feel like we were the only people in here. Music was fireee drinks were even better. I would recommend this bar to anyone exploring Portland

    Crimson King cocktail.  10/10 delicious, and zero homicidal tendencies after
    Erin N.

    Had to come back when we were downtown. The 100% plant based menu is worth the parking experience. The French dip was amazing, meaty and cheesy with a soft and slightly crusty roll. Also got a half portion of their Mac and cheese which was a lot of food for only $6! Creamy and salty with a nice crunchy topping. The cocktails might be the moneymaker here, but the food is what brings us back! Ok, the cocktails are also very good. No pics due to the low light and limited visibility inside, but the mules kick ins good way :) Seems to be primarily a hotel lobby bar (with really good food) so you order at the bar, take a number placard, and then your food is brought to wherever you end up sitting. There were some folks on a sofa watching sports on a big tv, a large group around a table, some small groups scattered at various small tables. Lots of tucked away quiet spots to get cozy.

    Mocktail hour

    Love this place for dinner + mocktails! Delicious vegan fare, cool swanky bar atmosphere connected to a classy hotel lobby. Fortune recently upped their mocktail game and they're so good. Highly recommend if you're downtown!

    Very confused why Fortune has such low reviews when the vegan food here is so tasty and the vibes are cozy. The vegan mozzarella sticks are absolutely delicious with gooey filling that perfectly complements the marinara sauce. Don't resist the temptation to savor every crunchy bite! The chicken burger here is iconic and an exact replica of the McChicken at McDonald's from the creamy mayo to the sweetness of the bun and the delightful texture of the chicken. And let's not forget about the seasoned crunchy fries. Unfortunately, the bacon mac n cheese didn't quite hit the mark for me, as the sweetness was a bit overwhelming. I accidentally left my hair clip here, but the servers went above and beyond by kindly keeping it for me. Exceptional service!

    Fortune: Bordelaise Burger
    Chiemi N.

    I really enjoyed my meal here. I came during World Vegan Month and tried their special that benefited Oregon Humane Society. It featured the Bordelaise Burger, the sauce was so good! I needed a spoon to slurp it all up after burger was devoured. I loved the space, plenty of comfortable seating. I want to invite all my friends and family to join me here. Probably when it gets lighter in the evening. I drove here and it was hard to find parking. They open at 4pm. When it is lighter in the evening, I will be using the Max to get here. There's a stop close by!

    Shinobi's and Watermelon Magarita
    Ploy N.

    A super cool and vibrant spot for creative drinks. I love how open the space is with colorful decors and many seatings. The bartenders were both very friendly. We got the Watermelon Magarita and Shinobi's. Both were very tasty and well-made. Totally would be back to try more!

    I am reviewing Fortune as a bar and restaurant. I cannot comment on Fortune as a club, as I'm too old for clubs and will not patron during those hours. FORTUNE HAS AMAZING VEGAN FOOD!!! And listen, I'm not vegan. My homegirl is vegan and wanted to take me out for my birthday. I had genuinely been wanting to try this place, so it seemed perfect. When we arrived (Tuesday evening), we were greeted by a mostly empty space. I wasn't mad about it; I really wanted to cozy up on one of the couches. Sadly, we were alerted that they were out of all their mac and cheese. Booo!!! Nonetheless, we ordered drinks at the bar and started out with the Parmesan & Rosemary Garlic Fries and the Mozzarella Sticks. That Watermelon Margarita is FIRE. Not too sweet at all. I ordered two. The food came out rather quickly. I didn't like that they did not provide us with any napkins. The fries were DELICIOUS. I loved the Secret Sauce. My friend was thoroughly enjoying dipping her fries into creamy vegan sauce. THE MOZZARELLA STICKS WERE AMAZING!!! I'm writing this the next day and I want another order of the Mozarella Sticks. Did I mention that I am soooo not vegan? These are the best dern mozarella sticks. I would never order mozzarella sticks at a bar. Deep fried cheese? I'll pass. But, these bad boys are like deep fried sticks filled with cheese sauce. My word!!! Okay, I might need to go tomorrow just for a shot of green Chartreuse and an order of Mozzarella sticks. Yummmmm!!! Okay? Moving on to entrees (they did bring napkins and silverware with our entrees). We settled on the Cauliflower Bowl and the Bakon Jam & Gruyère Burger. Fortune knocked it out of the park again. My burger was fabulous. The bakon was crispy and everything involved was just mouthwatering juicy. My friend's Cauliflower Bowl looked plentiful. She said the chickpeas were great. That harissa aioli definitely added a kick to the dish. RUN, do not walk to Fortune... just not late night when the young kids are out. And leave me some space on the couch.

    I traveled the world with a bar band, and I have performed in venues, big and small. So when I say…read morethat this is one of my favorite venues of all time, I'm comparing it to a lot of places! The showdown is a beautiful piece of Portland history. What was obviously once a country western venue, has turned eclectic, and Portland quality weird. It's old, it's worn, it's beautiful. The sound is excellent, distinct sounds from each instrument even above 90 dB so super props to the sound guy! I thought the menu was great and an exceptional value for a music venue with salty nibbles, and locally made red hot sausages, Also really delicious. Everybody there was super nice, the bartender was quick, efficient and knowledgeable. The seating is not the most comfortable in the world, but I sat there for four hours and barely moved because it was just that much fun. Can't wait to go back and see the next band I can't stop listening to.

    It is important to understand what The Showdown is before you attend. While it is a live music…read morevenue, it is mostly open ballroom, with seating around the periphery. Dancing seems to be the priority here. Some would say that The Showdown is a proper honky tonk, but it seems to be a bit more upscale than that description would imply. On my visit, one of the televisions was showing "Star Trek: The Next Generation", which was a fun surprise. Food is available at very reasonable prices. The menu is very small, and the food is nothing spectacular, but it is better than expected. Despite what Google Maps says, parking around here is TERRIBLE. It is all street parking, and not much in close proximity. Staff is FANTASTIC!!! Very friendly, very helpful, very professional. Service is prompt, and there is a fair number of non-alcoholic options. Tuesday nights feature a drop-in two-step dance class if you're interested. The instructors were top-notch, friendly, and great at what they did. There were probably 20 people in the class when I went, and the periphery seating gave me a great vantage point of the instructors and students (I couldn't wrap my head around it, but all participants seemed to be having a great time). The PA system sounded great, and the volume levels were very appropriate for the size of the room (it is nice not to have been deafened by needlessly loud music). The band was the true highlight of the night. They were awesome.

I traveled from Seattle to Portland by train and bus on a day trip, in order to attend the Cultura event on May 10, 2026. I bought a to-go vermicelli entree at Van Nien Temple ( https://vannienvegan.com/ ) earlier in the day. It was a Sunday and Van Nien Cafe closes down at 4pm (hours 10 - 4pm) so I planned to save the entree for my late dinner after the concert, because I did not feel hungry before going to the event. The security rejected me, telling me that 'outside food could not be brought in, you can either discard it or finish it outside' (it was not listed on your policy, and I am not the type of person that would bring outside entree to eat in a music venue). Not wanting to waste the food, I was forced to eat the entree on the street while I was not hungry. I personally feel it is quite insulting, and the venue and their security staff could have done a better job to accommodate event goers who don't have a vehicle to store the food.

(I've only come back for my favorite bands) The layout of the main performance area is honestly baffling. The floor is completely flat and the stage is barely elevated, so unless you're tall or fighting your way to the very front, you're not actually seeing the show--you're just listening to it in a crowded room. At my first concert here, I genuinely couldn't even locate the stage from where I was standing. Then there's the temperature. At a recent show, the AC was kicked on a few songs in and was blasting so aggressively it felt like standing in front of an open freezer door--or just fully being outside in the 40° weather. People's hair was literally blowing around, and a good chunk of the crowd had to put their jackets back on... indoors. Not exactly the vibe. And the bar situation? Rough. Only serving their own beer might make sense at a brewery, but this is a music venue. Having any alternative--Rainier, PBR, literally anything--would be an improvement. Instead, you're stuck with their terrible, terrible beer (for context--I am a professional beer brewer of +10 years). I want to like this place because the building itself is iconic, but between the terrible sightlines, the chaotic climate control, and the lack of drink options, it's hard to justify coming back I'd recommend opting for another venue in town to see your favorite bands.

The opening band was a Depeche Mode cover band called Hiding from Love (lots of "love" in the air tonight). My daughter has been on restriction, but we took a break from it as tribute bands are my guilty pleasure. I used it as an excuse to dive deeper into both bands beforehand. I know most of the hits although not always by name. My daughter and Sarah went up front to dance at the show and we had fun. Something interesting i found out was that Personal Jesus by Depeche is not even in their top 2 songs on Spotify currently. The other two songs are hits that i've heard, and i understand Depeche Mode is not a one hit wonder, but i was shocked to find out their song Enjoy the Silence has twice as many plays as Personal Jesus. Personal Jesus in my experience has always been the stand out hit, even at the show the crowd loved that one the most. Also Personal Jesus was released first as b-side in 1989, and was later released on a studio album the following year. The other big hits on the studio album (Enjoy the Silence, Policy of Truth, and World in my Eyes) although very 80's sounding, were released in 1990, which i had forgotten. Weird, i think of them as 80's songs. Not only that, but Depeche Mode, I learned very recently, has multiple other great songs that sound like they are from the 80's but were released years or decades after the 80's ended. Last note: They have an album (at least on streaming and it's listed as a "single" even though the collection is 3 hours long) of remixes called Violator: The 12 Inch Singles, and although i generally dislike remixes there are quite a few good ones on there. Many of them could fit well in a movie score.
